Food chain cards

Six organism cards plus arrow strips for building and rearranging food chains — pairs with the “Every living thing is connected” sample lesson.

TEACHING TIP

Remind students that arrows point from the food to the organism that eats it — the direction energy moves. The blank cards let groups extend the chain.

Pairs with the sample lesson Every living thing is connected.
